351: From Side Hustle to Global Brand: How Sheen Gurrib Built Her Empire

In this powerful episode of The Brave Table, I sit down with the incredible Sheen Gurrib—an Oxford and Cambridge graduate, creator of the viral “Dream, Girl” podcast, co-founder of the Professionelle Network, and entrepreneur using storytelling to shift narratives for women everywhere.
From tracing her roots from Mauritius to going viral with her Michelle Obama clip to building a professional empire in Dubai, Sheen shares her journey of reinvention, community-building, and breaking down barriers.
We explore what it means to show up authentically as a woman leader, the tension between heart and strategy, and how content creation is evolving in the age of AI. You’ll walk away with deep reflections and practical wisdom to build your personal brand, create impact, and stop letting fear hold you back.
